Okay guys I need an honest answer. I am I 17 year old guy with 400 bucks who wants to buy something like an Ipod or similar gadget. I have a psp for portable games, so my question is, for 400 bucks, is the Ipod Video the best thing for me to buy if I want to watch maybe some movies and play music ? Or should I be looking elsewhere ? I know the screen may be small for movies, but people have told me its like watching a normal tv across the room. Anyway give me any and all feedback you have.

Thanks,

Malcolm

Your PSP has a bigger (and wider, which is important for movies) screen and $400 buys a lot of memory cards.
Archos and Creative also have portable media players, with larger screens than the iPod.

If you want an iPod, buy an iPod. If you want a portable media player, look at the other options too.

Yeah, you can get what, two 2GB memory stick duos for that. What a deal!

Buy an iPod. Or invest the money in stocks and bonds. Better long term.
